Mr.. Blaine has spoken to newspaper
interviewer in Paris on the Irish ques-
ton with view 10 showing that he is
entitled to the Irish vote.
at is due TO Mr.. Gladstone says he,
that instead of seeing united England
against divided Ireland, there is now a
united Ireland against divided Eng
land"
Mr. Blaine is just where Senator Jones
of Florida once was when he addressed a
Chicago meeting of Irishmen.
He expressed all the sympathy, got all
the history, and proved himself an Irish
man by descent; but he didn't have the
broguc and his story would not go. The
Irishmen could not believe that Jones
was an Irish name.

The proposed statue Of General X. Il
Lee to be made by Mercie should now
be an accomplished fact, as the demon
siraiion yesterday on the occasion OF the
laving of the cornerstone shows disp0
siiion on the part Of the people to sub
scribe the necessary funds. This has only
been a preliminary ceremony that seems
TO have for its object the dedication Of a
spot on which the ex.Confederates can
erect a statue Of the great hero Of the
Lost Cause Having advanced that far
it remains to proceed with the proper
steps to obtain the statue,
In order to do this we suggest that the
public be informed as to the design OF
the statue and the amount of money re-
ouired to make the statue and the pedes-
tai and set Il up, and when all that is 10 be
done.
At this distance of time from the
scenes of the war a great character like
that of Lee becomes a property of the
whole country. and in statue to repre-
sent him we should be- careful that the
artist comprehends his theme in order TO
make a work that will set forth hero Of

DISASTERS SEEM EPIDEMIC ALL
OVER TIE COUNTRY

The Fireman of the Engine in the
Washington Crash Says the Train
Was Uncontrollable-C Horribly
Crushed in Illinois-The Coroner's
Jury at Chatsworth Blames the Sec
ton Foreman.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-Coroner Patter-
son held an inquest to-day into the case of
the death of the engineer killed yesterday
morning on the Baltimore and Ohio "Y. "
The testimony shows that the engineer did
all in his power to stop the train. When he
found that the air brakes had failed he sig
nailed for the ordinary brakes and applied
the extra steam brake ON the en-
gine, which is used in emergencies.
The locomotive wheels We're sliding
when the train approached the "Y," )" and
the brakes on the coaches were set solid
against the wheels, All the train hands,
including the porters of the sleepers, were
on the platforms trying to stop the train,
but the time was too short for the hand
brakes to act effectively. The jury i'll its
verdict expresses the opinion that this ac-
cident and others that have occurred at
this point is due to the very great
rapidity with which trains habitually
enter the city, and especially in rounding
this curve, which the company must know
to be dangerous.
THE TIREMAN's STATEMENT.
The injured are probably on the road to
recovery Fireman James w Smith, who
lies at the Providence Hospital, badly in
jured, has made the following statement in
regard to the accident: 'The train reached
Queenstown, a mile and half from
Washington all right. The air brakes
were tested and worked without
any apparent trouble. We left Queens
town about ten minutes late, and l think
that the engineer tried to make up lost time
AS soon as we got under headway | noticed
the train take a sudden jump, and then be
gin to make fast time. The engineer called
to me that the air-brakes would not work,
and could tell by his face that
he was troubled about it. He again
told me that he could not stop
the train or even slow up, and | told him
would try and work the hand brakes.
succeeded in getting one brake to work, and
started to try another. The speed of the
train kept me from walking over the car
The force of the train made regular hurri-
cane on top of the cars, and could not
hold my feet. | was compelled to almost
hug the brake to keep my posi-
tion on the train. l could not
even jump off, so fast was the train going
The engineer stood at his post doing his best
to slacken the train | saw the engine leave

ground. 1t seemed that the train was going
nearly 90 miles an hour. 1t was completely
unmanageable. 1t was a runaway train.

CHATswoRTH's CRASH.
The Coroner's Jury Places Most of the
Blame on Foreman Coughlin.

The Coroner's Jury Places Most of the
Blame on Foreman Coughlin.
CHICAGO, Aug 18-A special to the NeCs
from Chatsworth says: ''The Coroner's
jury agreed on a verdict this morning which
holds Timothy Coughlln, foreman of sec
tion 7, for the grand jury, and negatively
exonerates the company The management
is not censured for running double-header,
for its system of track inspection, or
for anything else. The verdict simply says
that failure to patrol the track for six hours
before the train came, and the habit of
burning grass close to the TRACK Is a subject
for criticism. Three or four friends of the
road on the jury had better staying quail
ties than two or three of those who wanted
to fix a portion of the blame on the man
agement.
Coughlin was promptly arrested and will
be taken to Pontiac county, the seat of
Livingston county, at once. He says he
cannot give bail and will have to go to Jail.
He insists that the verdict is unjust, that he
went over his entire section as ordered, and
that no fires were built near the bridge.
The jury made out separate verdictS for
each of the victims.
Another victim of the wreck died this
morning at Fanbury, His name was Elton
Waters, of Cattaraugus, n. Y. Until
within few days of the accident he was
employed at Peoria. This makes the total
number of verified deaths T9.

ENGLAND BACKS FERDINAND.
The Standard Warns Him That He
Must Show No Fear.

LONDON, Aug. 1S-The Standard sup
ports Prince Ferdinand, and reminds him
that the smallest symptom of hesitation or
fear will be fatal. If he continues in his
present course says the Standard, he may
ignore Russia and count on the warmest
sympathy of the people of England, Aus
tria, Italy and Germany, though the gov
ernments of those countries may be COM
PEELED to act circumspectly.
THE NORTH GERMAN GAZETTE INDoRsED
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1S.-The Journal
de st. Petersburg says the view taken by
the North German Gazette of Prince Ferdi-
nand's manifesto is clear and correct, and
declares the proclamation to be a veritable
act of defiance, and an exhortation to the
Bulgarians to evade all their engagements
Prince Ferdinand, it says, appears to have
realized that his rupture with public rights
is complete, and continues precipitately and
blindly in his path of adventure.
The Moscow Gazette urges the Russian
Government TO act with vigor in regard to
Bulgaria The acceptance of Bulgaria
is needless as vet, it says, but Tur-
key should be held responsible for any vio-
lation of the Berlin treaty, and threatened
with the occupation of Trebizonde and Err
zeroum unless order be restored in Bull

A TRAIN JUMPS THE TRACK.
One Person Killed, and Three Seriously
Injured,

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 1S.-When the train
from Pittsburg to Chicago, on the Fort
Wayne road, reached Alliance, O., this
morning, it was found that the Fort Wayne
road was obstructed by a freight wreck
some miles east of Alliance, and the
train was ordered around by the
Cleveland and Pittsburg road. The
train was made up of three
baggage and express cars, one smoker, one
passenger coach, two Chicago sleepcrs and
a Toledo sleeping car, which was attached
to the rear of the train. After leaving
Alliance the train was proceeding thirty
miles an hour. As it swung around sharp
curve near Bayard the rails spread and the
Toledo sleeper was derailed, falling on It's
side. The two Chicago sleepers also jumped
the track, but after running nearly 800 yards
they were pulled on again and escaped
injury When the crash came, sleeping
car porter ran to the forward platform and

were only three passengers and a flag

sTANFoRD's SILENCE.
The President Authorizes the Employ
ment of Counsel

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Is. - President
Cleveland telegraphed to Chairman Pater-
son this morning authorizing the Pacific
Railway Commission to use their own dis
cretion in the matter of employing counsel
in the contest against the officials of the
Central Pacific railroad in the United States
Circuit Court here. The question before
the Court is whether the commission had not
power to compel Senator Stanford to explain
what $4,000, 900 of unexplained vouchers
was expended for, and whether it was to
influence State or National legislation. Mr..
Stanford's counsel sets up the defense that
the Central Pacific is California State cor
poration, and that Congress has no authority
to order it to be investigated He also
claims that the law creating the commission,
and defining its duties and powers is un-
constitutional Justice Field, of the United
States Supreme Court, sits as member of
the court before which the hearing is had.
Chairman Paterson left to-day for Phila-
delphia. The work of the Commission is
practically ended, but Commissioners An
derson and Little will stay here till Satur-
day. Should the United States
Circuit Court decide that Senator
Stanford and others must answer questions
in regard to the expenditure of the funds
for the purpose of influencing legislation,
the commission will return again TO San
Francisco, and resume the taking of testi-

SOURED ON SOCIALISTS.
The United Labor Party Gives Them
Cold Comfort at Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug 1S.-The United
Labor Convention assembled at 10 80 o'clock
this morning, and the Committee on Gre
dentials made its report. The committee
had been in session all night, and had had
a lively time In almost all cases they re-
ported in favor of the sitting delegates. This
shows that the Socialist element was re-
ceived with little favor by the committee. The
Socialist members of the committee sub
mitted a long minority report, in which
they favored the seating of the contesting
delegates. Speeches were limited to five
minutes, and a lively debate fol
lowed By O'Clock about all the
members had spoken, and the convention
took a recess until 3 o'clock. Upon reas-
sembling there was another long and acri-
monious debate,' which was ended by the
adoption of the majority report. The Com
mittee on Permanent Organization then re-
ported John McMackin, of New York, for
President, and other officers. After jangle
the report was adopted
